Python and GIF images

[elfgeek]

can python on xbmc display a gif image? i'm writing a script that downloads an image from the web and displays it. gif's don't seem to work, however, jpg and bmp is fine. if gif's don't work is there a good way to convert gifs to something else on the fly in xbmc?

thanks.

i had the same problem in the past, transparent gif seem to not display well with python.
and the library to convert file format image is not available for now on xbox.

xbmc has code for loading gif images in c++ that seems to work fine for transparent images, maybe someone could hook that into python.
